Ben, a young gay man who – unemployed, skint and lonely – is in danger of drifting into depression. But his life changes when he has a one night stand with Al, a handsome charmer who – to the least – is pretty mixed up about the whole ‘gay’ thing. Ben, of course, falls for him. It all seems hopeless, except Ben has someone who’s very much on his side. His half brother Henry, who, through his neurodiversity, has a very unique take on the world.

Wendy is coping with life after the traumatic experience of going through ‘ECT’. Most of her memories are gone and as she bumps into a familiar face from her past that she can’t quite place, her memories slowly start to return. Not all of them easy to come to terms with.
